Not anything under http://www.verizon.com, unfortunately.

If you dig deep enough, the web pages pretty much all tell you
to give one of the "knowledgeable sales consultants" in their
ISDN department.  My advice is keep calling back and trying
until you get to someone who both knows what a "SPID", "DN" and
"hunt group" all at the same time.

They do NI-1 in addition to any proprietary ISDN signaling and features
package.

Well, it can, if you use the TD284 module.  If you only have a U interface,
you cannot share it among devices.  You have to have the S/T bus to be
able to have multiple devices on it.

There isn't PRI support in the North American varient of the KX-TD.
Since they have both BRI support and T1 support, they *ought* to be
able to whack in support for the PRI.  But currently that is unsupported.
(Well, it could be in the -5 software, but I'd bet not.)

Yes, probably so.  I imagine that if you had access to the ordering sheets
for the options on NI-1 that the LEC uses, you could probably figure
out what to order in just about any LEC, given the information that
I've given here and gleaned from the manual.
